Show Notes
In this episode, we're discussing the basics of the pet food industry: what to look for on the side of a bag of pet food, how to understand what you are feeding and what you should be feeding your dog or cat, and about home prepared diets for your pet.
As ever, I'm joined by Ellie Groves, Veterinary Technical Manager at Purina UK & Ireland, as we deep dive into pet nutrition.
